Statement from UAE Section of ANS Chair Gale Hauck on Barakah

December 10, 2020, 10:59AMPress Releases

At Barakah Site, we feel so lucky to be a part of such a historic achievement and to have contributed in some small way. I came to the UAE almost three years ago with the hope that I could see a first core initial startup at least once in my career. Now that it’s happened, it’s a little surreal. While we celebrate our accomplishments at the site, we remain focused on our everyday work. There’s still much to do to ensure Units 2, 3, and 4 can safely start up on schedule.


Note: Hauck is also the Deputy Site Manager at Barakah for Westinghouse Electric Co.
